A lot to catch up on.

Well it has been a while since I have written on here. We have moved from Provo to Northern Utah. Since the store is opening soon we decided we needed to live near by. We have been here for about a month and we really like it here. It's a small town so that's kinda different for all of us. Oh we are all living together which is Jon, me, Annie, Ava, mom and dad. Its crazy living all together and kinda hard but its getting better. 

About the store, it will be opening in 3 weeks and we are super excited. The sign is already up and I will have to get a picture of it up on here. Everyone in our new ward is really excited about it and are telling everyone they come across. 

About my pregnancy, I think I am starting to get over morning sickness but let me tell you for a month there I was hating life. It was an all day thing and not fun. I couldn't even leave the house cause I was too nervous that at any moment I would be throwing up. For the past week I have had morning sickness a little bit in the morning but once I have breakfast its gone and then a little at night when I take my vitamins. Once its completely over it will be amazing. I have my first real doctor appointment on Monday, I cannot wait. So I have been really thinking that it might be twins but who knows, I'll find out soon enough. But then the other night I had a dream it was a baby boy and I even remembered what it looked like. Well I haven't gained any weigh yet but my belly is starting to show. 

Morning sickness

It's happening. I thought that maybe some how I was one of those lucky people that do not get morning sickness while pregnant but I'm not that lucky. My mom last week kept saying that if I didn't have it by then it was not going to happen but it did. The last few days have been horrible, it's not morning sickness its all day sickness. I hate it. I don't understand why women do this to themselves over and over. I told Jon the other night as I was about to throw up that I don't know if I could do this to myself again. Adoption is looking really good. Everyone keeps telling me its worth it, I guess I'll have to see in 7 months.  

Happy Birthday Jon!

Today my wonderful husband turn 25, wow he is getting old, jk. He is such an amazing person, I love him so much. I don't know what my life would be without him. I just cannot believe how lucky I am to have found him. Happy Birthday Love! I love you more than you will ever know.

We found our car, YAY!

I cannot believe this. As Jon and I are driving back from church we see a car that looks like mine and as we get closer we saw the Utah sticker in the front and the Chargers sticker in the back. Jon stayed with the car while I drove up to the house to get a phone since neither of us had one. I called the police and when they got there they told us to go look and see if there was anything in it that was not ours. The person who stole our car was really stupid, they left a McDonald's drink in there a woman's bag in there with baby girl toys. In the bag there was a baby bottle and a sippy cup. The police officer also found a finger print on the rear view mirror. I hope they found who did that and they pay for it. Specially if they had a baby with them when they did it. How horrible. The funny thing is that this person just drove the car down the hill and left it there with the windows open. They must have realized that the equipment in the back was taking the whole back and they couldn't have anyone else with them. And since the equipment weighs about 400 pounds each they couldn't do it themselves. The scary thing is that they must have found the sensor key that mom had lost in there cause the car would not start up. So we now have our car parked in the garage so that whoever stole it can't come back for it. If they looked and found the key and left their stuff in the car they must have thought they were going to come back for the car. Oh well, at least we were lucky enough to have found it. Thank goodness we went to church, right? Well that made our day.

Our car was just stolen!

I don't know what else can go wrong but my white mitsubishi outlander just got stolen. Can you believe that? And the worst part was that we had really expensive equipment for the stores, so we are really upset about it. I thought we lived in a nice neighborhood, lesson learned I guess. You are not safe anywhere, not even in Provo (happy valley). Poor Jon is about to lose his mind. This is the second car in 2 years that something has happened to. Well pray that we can find it in one piece and not burned and that the pizza equipment is still in the car. We just paid a load of money for it.

I got to go to Los Angeles/find out I am pregnant!

Last week Jon and I went to California, again. I went for 2 days up to Los Angeles to stay with my friend Jen. It was such a blast. Jon's parents took us all to Korea town for dinner at a BBQ place, the food was amazing. That same night Jen, Jackson and I went to the Griffith Observatory and I got to see the "Hollywood" sign but it was took dark to take pictures. 

The following day we decided to go the the Americana at Brant, which is an outside mall. It was amazing, tons of expensive stores. We went to this really nice mexican restaurant called Frida, it was for sure the best mexican restaurant ever. We got their tampiquena with mole sauce, it was just amazing food and service. I highly recommended if you are in the LA area. We also got to see the group En Vogue at an outdoor concert it was pretty good.

That night Jen took me to a new frozen yogurt place that is now the coolest thing in California. I fell in love with the place and once I was down in San Diego I made Jon drive for like an hour to get me to one of these, that's how good it is.

Oh my goodness this is a good story. So my period was about 5 days late and so Jen happened to have a pregnancy test at her house. So last thursday before leaving to go back down to San Diego I did the home pregnancy test and within less than a minute there were 2 lines, I woke Jen up cause I couldn't believe it and made sure I wasn't seeing things. And she said it was positive, AHHHH!! I was in complete shock, we were not expecting this. So I tried calling Jon but he wouldn't answer so I called my mom and told her, she was surprised too. Finally I got ahold of Jon and he would not believe me. I didn't want to believe I was pregnant till I went to a clinic and was told by a health professional. But here is the first pregnancy test I took. Ahhh!! I'm gonna be a mom how crazy.

My parent 25th wedding anniversary!

Wow, so today 25 years ago my parents were married. The silver anniversary! That seems like a really long time to me but they tell me it has gone by way too fast. I love my parents so much. I look up to them. They have the best marriage out of anyone I know, hands down. My mom's love for my dad is unbelievable, she does anything for my dad. I aspire to be a wife like my mom. I feel like I have the best parents in the world. They would do anything for their kids. In 25 years my parents have had 4 amazing kids. Lived in Costa Rica about 10 years while married and then moved the family to the USA. They have raised some amazing people. I'm the only crazy one, hahaha. I won't go on cause it will take forever and most are personal. There are so many things that they have achieved. I'm so proud of them. I love you mami and daddy!

Here are a few quotes about marriage:

 

"Coming together is the beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success." by Henry Ford

"Treasure the love you receive above all. It will survive long after your good health has vanished." by Og Mandino

 

"A successful married life requires falling in love many times, but always with the same person." anonymous

"No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married for quarter of a century." anonymous

PMS

I don't know if this only happens to me or what but once a month I lose my mind. I get all emotional and everything bugs me. And I start to hate life. AHHH! I don't know what is wrong with me. I had my melt down for the month today. And my husband is just so wonderful and patient with me. He is just the most amazing husband. He knows exactly what to say and do. I was a mess but for some reason I just cannot help it and I think that crying helps me get all my frustration out and then I'm good to go for the rest of the month till next time.  So does anything like this happen to anyone else or just me?

More pictures of our new kitten

                            this is me and Buddy, isn't he sweet?
                               this is him messing with Booboo

Yay! I just found out how to put notes below pictures. I still don't know about the name Buddy but Jon seems to be hooked on it. I don't know why, it sounds like a dog name, doesn't it? He asked me today what I wanted to name it since I don't like Buddy, I told him Kingston but he doesn't like that, oh well. buddy it will have to be I guess. Oh and he is so lovable and  definitely not as crazy as Harry was when we first got him. We do need to get him de-clawed though cause I am to scared what his claws could do. We think he might be a Savanna cat, if you haven't heard of this, its a cross between an african serval and a domestic cat. He looks really exotic and he has huge paws, bigger than Harry's. If he is a Savanna cat we got lucky though we have been wanting to get one for a while but they cost between $1000 and $6000 so we couldn't afford it. Well I guess we will find out what he is when we take him to the vet. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Trip to Park City

On Saturday aunt Mary took us to Park City to spend all day and sleep there. We got to stay at the Marriot which is a really nice hotel. She also got us an all day pass at the Park City Mountain Resort. They have the alpine ride and coaster and the zip line. We had a blast! We went on the alpine ride first and it was not fun at all but then we went on the zip line and while in line I was getting so nervous since I'm afraid of heights. So I was thinking of not doing it and backing out but I convinced myself that it would be fun and it was, I loved it. I screamed like a little girl, I'm sure I made a lot of people laugh. Then we went on the coaster and that was way fun too. We wanted to do both the zip line and coaster again. So we get on the lift to go up the mountain and on the way there it starts to rain. When it rains they close everything down. By the time we got up the mountain it was full on raining. So they told us we would have to either wait there for a car to come get us or walk down the mountain. We didn't want to wait to we started walking down thinking that it was not that far away. Well we were wrong it was like 2 miles down, and that's a lot for me. So we walked down as it's raining and we got so dirty. I have posted some pictures of the whole day. We all have a blast, we even got a little tan. So I don't know yet how to put words underneath the pictures so I'll explain them in order, the first one I was yelling at Jon, as normal, to straighten up for the picture. The second one we were in line for the zip line ride. The third is Annie and I getting hooked on for the ride. The fourth one is of us walking down the mountain. And the last one is the back of our shoes and legs after the walk down the mountain.
